Twins batter Witt Minneapolis (ap> — chip Hale’s first major league RBI broke a 3-3 tie and led the Minnesota Twins to an 8-6 victory over the Texas Rangers Thursday night. Hale, called up last Saturday when Gary Gaetti was placed on the disabled list, hit a sacrifice fly to score Brian Harper with the go- ahead run in the bottom of the fifth. Rookie left-hander David West, 2- 0, won his second straight start, giv ing up five hits and three runs in seven innings. Bobby Witt, 10-12, lost for the fourth time in his last five starts. Dan Gladden had a pair of RBI singles for the Twins. West, who pitched 7 2-3 shutout innings to beat Seattle 1-0 Saturday, was making just his second Ameri can League start. He struck'out six, including four of the first nine bat ters he faced. He held the Rangers hitless until the fourth, when the first of Steven Buechele’s two dou bles, keyed a three-run rally that gave Texas a 3-1 lead. Randy Bush’s solo homer nar rowed the Rangers’ lead to 3-2 in the fourth. In the fifth, the Twins loaded the bases on singles by Kirby Puckett and Harper and a walk to Bush. Gladden singled to tie the game, be fore Hale broke the tie. Hale’s RBI single capped a two- run seventh and the Twins added two runs in the eighth on RBI sin gles by Carmen Castillo and Kent Hrbek for their eighth victory in nine games. Jeff Reardon, the third Twins’ pitcher of the night, came on to re cord his 28th save after Cecil Espy hit a two-run double off Tim Drum mond. Irish roll over Cavs, capture opener 36-13 EAST RUTHERFORD, N J. (AP) —Tony Rice guided Notre Dame to touchdowns on its first five posses sions as the Fighting Irish opened defense of their national championship by routing Virginia 36-13 Thursday night in the Kickoff Classic. After losing seven top players be fore the season started, Coach Lou Holtz said he didn’t consider Notre Dame a Top 20 team. But the Fight ing Irish sure looked like one against the Cavaliers, who are expected to contend for the Atlantic Coast Con ference title after finishing last sea son with five straight victories. The game was all but over at half time after second-ranked Notre Dame raced to a 33-0 lead before a sellout crowd of 77,323 at Giants Stadium. Rice, one of the preseason favor ites for the Heisman Trophy, com pleted six of seven passes for 125 yards and ran for 34 yards and a touchdown in the first half. He played only three series in the sec ond half as Holtz substituted freely. Notre Dame outgained Virginia 333-60 in the first half and led in first downs 16-3. In fact, the Fight ing Irish nearly matched the Cava liers’ total first-half yardage on one play, a 52-yard pass from Rice to Raghib Ismail that set up a 2-yard scoring run by Rodney Culver late in the first quarter. Virginia, meanwhile, failed to cross midfield in the opening half. About the only thing Notre Dame did wrong was miss an extra point and come up short on a two-point conversion. The Cavaliers scored two touch downs in the fourth quarter, but it was much too late to stop Notre Dame from winning its 13th straight game, the longest streak in the coun try. It took Notre Dame just over four minutes to score its first touchdown on Ricky Watters’ 2-yard run. On their next possession, the Fighting Irish drove 57 yards in nine plays and scored on fullback An thony Johnson’s 1-yard dive. After Culver’s short run made it 19-0, Notre Dame forced a punt and began another long scoring drive to open the second quarter. Johnson capped the 14-play, 87-yard march by powering into the end zone from the 1. Notre Dame made it 33-0 with 5:11 left in the half when Rice dropped back to pass from the Vir ginia 3, scrambled and then raced past two defenders for the score. The next time Notre Dame got the ball, Rice was replaced by highly touted freshman Rick Mirer, who drove the team to the Virginia 39 be fore being intercepted in the end zone by cornerback Kevin Cook. Mirer played most of the third pe riod and finished with two comple tions in seven attempts for 30 yards. Ismail, a speedy sophomore who led the nation in kickoff returns last season, caught four passes for 99 yards in the first half and added a 22-yard reception in the third quar ter. Watters was a triple threat, rush ing for 80 yards on 12 carries, catch ing two passes for 42 yards and returning three punts for 67 yards. Virginia’s most glaring statistic was its failure to reach Notre Dame territory in the first half. When the Cavaliers finally accomplished the feat it was on a Notre Dame holding penalty midway through the third quarter. The pro-Irish crowd saluted with a mock cheer. The Cavaliers got more applause with 12:41 left in the game when they scored their first points on a 6- yard pass from Shawn Moore to Derek Dooley, son of former Georgia coach Vince Dooley. Even then, it didn’t come easy. The Cavaliers needed 14 plays to go 80 yards and needed a Notre Dame penalty at the 1 to keep the drive al ive. Virginia added a second, fourth- down touchdown with 7:06 remain ing when Moore hit Bruce McGon- nigal from two yards out. Notre Dame closed out the scor- ~ ing with 1:46 left on a 32-yard field goal by Craig Hentrich. Top U.S. seeds win, avoid Open upsets NEW YORK (AP) —Jimmy Con nors, the oldest player at the U.S. Open, showed Thursday he still has plenty of fight, while Andre Agassi and Michael Chang kept up the march of America’s teen brigade. Connors, who turns 37 on Satur day, avoided the upsets that had tripped two other former cham pions, disposing of hard-serving but erratic 23-year-old qualifier Bryan Shelton 6-7, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 in a second- round match. Shelton, an All-America from Georgia Tech who lost to Boris Becker in the first round at Wimble don in his first Grand Slam event, blasted 12 aces without being broken in the first set. He polished off an 8- 6 win in the tie-breaker with his eighth service winner. But Shelton’s serve failed him as he double-faulted at game-point at the start of the second set, and the steady, wily Connors took his mea sure with blazing returns, deft lobs and passing shots. Shelton managed only five aces in the last three sets and never threat ened the 13th-seeded Connors in any of them. “I’m happy I stopped the rout (of seeded players). I’m happy it stopped at me,” Connors said. “If he continued serving and playing the way he did in the first set, it could’ve been a different thing. But I didn’t think he could keep it up.” Shelton was impressed with Con nors. “I thought he moved pretty well,” he said. “A couple of times I thought a point was over and he ran it down. Agassi, 19, Chang, 17, and Pete Sampras, 18, who took out defend ing champion Mats Wilander on Wednesday night, meanwhile, showed they are part of a new gener ation of U.S. players on the verge of taking over the game. The sixth-seeded Agassi, with flowing locks and a throng of screaming female admirers, beat South African Neil Broad in win ning 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 to advance to the third round. Chang, the seventh seed and French Open champion, handled the swirling breeze on the stadium court as easily as he did Sweden’s Thomas Hogstedt in a 6-1, 6-3, 6-3 victory. There were no big upsets, for a change, as top-seeded Ivan Lendl, third-seeded Stefan Edberg and ninth-seeded Tim Mayotte also ad vanced to the third round without dropping a set. Lendl didn’t strain himself much in a snappy, 78-minute, 6-2, 6-1, 6-1 victory against John Fitzgerald, a doubles specialist from Australia who charged the net futilely while Lendl stayed back and hammered forehands and backhands past him. Lendl said he wasn’t suprised at the second-round upsets of Wi lander by Sampras and four-time champion John McEnroe by new comer Paul Haarhuis, or the near upset of Becker by Derrick Ros- tagno.
